Floral tattoos are trendy AF. From color to black and white to grayscale, I love them all. The one problem I come across with flower thigh tattoos is how to pick the flower and make it unique.
I love roses and peonies as much as the next girl, but I adore artists who take risks and try new designs. Adding an unusual color to the mix or inking in a phrase with your flowers shakes things up.
